Hudson police to grow beards for "Winni Dip"

January 30. 2014 8:57AMHUDSON - - Police officers will be sporting beards in February as part of a unique fundraiser, "Donate to Insulate," to raise funds for Special Olympics New Hampshire.

Officers will make a donation to the nonprofit for the rare opportunity to grow facial hair. The fundraiser will precede the Special Olympics Winni Dip and hopefully the beards will help the officers stay extra warm while jumping into the chilly waters of Lake Winnipesaukee on March 8.

A team of officers is participating in the event. Anyone interested in making a donation to Hudson police on behalf of Special Olympics New Hampshire for the Winni Dip can do so by stopping at the station at 1 Constitution Drive or online through the website: http://www.firstgiving.com/team/255714 .
